Joel Ryan / APBrad Pitt and Angelina Jolie arrive at the British Academy Film Awards at The Royal Opera House in London, England on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2009, where they drew big cheers, but took home no awards.

This year's twin acting nominations for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is far from the first time a high-profile couple has been nominated in the same year.

Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner did it in 1954 (for "From Here to Eternity" and "Mogambo," respectively). Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor did it in 1967 (for their co-starring roles in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"). And Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams did it in 2004 (for their co-starring roles in "Brokeback Mountain").
